Our Benefits

PEACH holds bi-monthly meetings from August through May each school year. Speakers and programs are designed to encourage and educate homeschooling parents.  The meetings are generally held on the fourth Thursday of each month from 7:00-8:30 PM.  An optional Mentoring Meeting is held at 6:30PM before the general meetings.  The Mentoring Meeting is a wonderful resource for new homeschoolers.

All PEACH meetings will be held at the Church of Christ on McDermott Road between Coit and Independence.

 

PEACH publishes a monthly e-newsletter. PEACH Buzz keeps our members up-to-date with field trips, activities, opportunities for service and homeschooling in the news, as well as accepting articles and ads from our members. 

PEACH Flashes are sent out via email to  provide information, recommendations, and items of interest to our PEACH Members.  These are sent out as needed, usually one email per week, August thru May. 

PEACH publishes a member directory. In addition to names, addresses and phone numbers, the directory provides information on ages of children, curriculum in use, and family interests and hobbies. Members only.

PEACH members are involved in weekly and monthly group activities. These activities include, but are not limited too, field trips, P.E. classes, bowling, chess club, library days, pizza days, roller skating, and even park days for more fellowship and fun.

PEACH teens can participate in a monthly Book Club.  Teens can also participate in our Drama Club.  We also offer several monthly activities for teens to choose from, these events are available to members through our Yahoo Group!

PEACH members are entitled to a discount when they join the Home School Legal Defense Association or Texas Home School Coalition . We encourage our members to join one or both of these organizations, which provide legal advocacy and support for homeschooling families in Texas and throughout the nation. See our Resources page for more information.

PEACH makes other homeschooling resources available to its members. For example, we keep current editions of the Texas Home School Coalition Handbook for purchase. THSC monitors government policies and activities in Austin, and they publish a Handbook every year, covering homeschooling in Texas.  PEACH members receive $15 off their Texas Home School Coalition membership.

PEACH sponsors a Used Book Sale in the late spring. We also facilitate the opportunity to buy, sell, or trade curriculum between members at other times of the year, through our e-newsletter and bi-monthly meetings.
